America's hinge moment

[guno]

We first saw the impact of how these demographic changes can alter the politics of a state back in the 1980s when California rapidly shifted to what is now a solidly Democratic state.

The trend is evident in other states in the South, Southwest and the Inter-mountain West. In Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and Virginia—areas traditionally associated with Republican Party strength—the population is trending younger and more diverse, and it is becoming more politically competitive for the Democrats. The “States of Change” report projects that over half of these states will have a majority-minority population before 2040.

no wonder why the white christian party is becoming like sick rabid cornered animals., Lashing out as they see is their end

Next year’s election is the midpoint between 1992 when the current phase of presidential politics began and 2040, which is around the time that most projections have us approaching a majority-minority country, one in which no race will constitute the majority of Americans.

While the 2016 presidential election is likely to reflect the last remnants of this bygone era, the candidate running for president in 2016 who best understands how the country is changing and runs a campaign based on the America of the future rather than the America of the past is most likely to be our 45th president.

Certainly looks that way.

If the GOP runs a "throwback" candidate they will most certainly lose IMO.

On the other hand if they opt for someone like Jeb who appreciates that this change is happening they do stand a chance. The only problem is that it can't be Jeb.

Its going to result in massive white flight and intead of urban vs suburb...it'll be bigger. Like whole states.

We'll be resegregated by 2040 mostly and cities and states will be vastly different based on how successful that areas groups are.

Resegregated? Silly nutter. There will be more interracial couplings and racially mixed children. Racial segregation is something that we will not see again in this country.

Progress.

you are still going to have groups of like people together.....Blacks, Browns Asian.....and if some of you like Guno think only whites are bigots or racist.........then you are in for a surprise....

 

[JakeStarkey]

The general sense of the OP is correct.

The GOP must reach out more to women and minorities to remain more than a regional power.

No shit? I'd better tell my kids. They are going to have to choose.

There won't be a United States by 2040.

If the feckless Republicans would simply PUSH THIS in everyone's face, as baby killers do, there would be a substantial switch amongst MOTHERS!!!

The problem is this: that more than 80% of America believe in a right some form of regulated abortion. The great majority reject the idea of no abortion or abortion for the life of the mother only. Even Catholics generally follow this trend. "A 2008 survey found that 65% of American Catholics identified themselves as "pro-choice" but also found that 76% of these "pro-choice" Catholics believed that abortion should be significantly restricted.[37] Some 58% of American Catholic women feel that they do not have to follow the abortion teaching of their bishop.[38]" Catholic Church and abortion in the United States - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

How has that worked since 1973? If some mom's daughter is suburbia has to give up a soccer scholarship because she is pregnant and has to have the child, the GOP will be out of business the following year.

The GOP uses the far right pro-life absolutists as a wedge issue, not an actual goal.

Unfortunately, we have many people that simply will not do what is morally right. It's one of the crosses the right must bear, as the left has few moral values. I simply point to Alexander Hamilton's quote "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything".... Even if it costs elections, you do what is right, not what is convenient, and not for such an absurd reason as abandoning your core values.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Yep, you fall for everything. "The common attribution to the eighteenth-century statesman Alexander Hamilton was probably based on a mistaken understanding of a relatively modern citation. A different man named Alex Hamilton who was a British broadcaster used the saying in 1978. Details are given further below." The earlier known facsimiles of the quote were in 1926 and 1927.
